In case anyone is curious, I looked it up & yes Charles Darwin (1809-1882) & Steve Irwin (1962-2006) did in fact own the same tortious. Harriet The Galapagos Tortoise was born in 1830, she was collected by Charles Darwin in 1835, she lived in England after Darwin died, she was later transported to Australia, & she died in the Beerwah, Australia Zoo under the ownership of Steve Irwin in 2006 at the age of 175.
“Then kill him tough guy, you won’t.” And “because it was done to me.” Really brought me back to those Bill Hader game show sketches.
"It's YOUR tortoise?" "NO. It's your tortoise." had me rolling
"Then kill him, tough guy. You won't." 😂 Longfellow is great as a game show host!
He's got young Bill Hader vibes, love the chaotic gameshow host trope!
That tortoise fact about Darwin and Irwin was actually pretty interesting.
"Because it was done to me" is the reason for so many of this world's problems. 😔
"don't take your pick - take all three, it's three cars" was such a great line 😂 pretty sure there's nothing james can't do
I enjoyed this because, yes, the Bill Hader comparisons are impossible to avoid, but Michael Longfellow adds his own personality quirks, more of an offbeat presence alongside the malevolence. The idea that he's just trying to get rid of this turtle he was forced to take as a child is a great concept.
"Why did you do this to me?" "Because it was done to me" 😭
Emma Stone: "NOoooOOoo." Michael Longfellow: "YES." As a 5th grade teacher, this part really spoke to me.
Loved how this turned out to be the one and only episode of the game show, proving that the entire purpose was to get rid of the tortoise.
This skit exists purely to show off James' amazing announcer impression and I am here for it
-"They live for a 190 years!?" -"Maybe more. Everyone who studies them die before they do." Honestly,that is some great writing and deserved a bigger laugh. Longfellow is quickly making his mark,his groundhog was perfection.
“I think you’re thinking of tortilla…” every line of this sketch is gold 😁😁
I love how verbally aggressive Michael got 😂
Michael actually received a tortoise as a 6 year old (per his standup)!! So glad he got this standup/real life bit made into a perfect sketch!
“3 cars.” Hahahahahaha!
I'll add to the kudos for Michael killing it as the host, but can I add how James absolutely NAILED the speech pattern of the typical game show announcer? Not surprising given his voice talent, but the cadence of each announcement - the loud and long first line followed by the fast talking description, then ending quickly.....I felt like I was home sick from school watching CBS daytime game shows. :)
That fact about Steve Irwin owning Darwin's tortoise is true. 🐢💯+
